摘要:
Systems and methods for actuating a pair of pipe flanges to cause the flanges to be sealingly engaged. In one embodiment, a connection includes a first flange, a second flange and a coupling. The first and second flanges have complementary mating surfaces. The coupling engages both the first and second flanges, with the flanges oriented so that their mating surfaces face each other. The coupling movably engages the first flange to form a cavity between the coupling and the flange. When fluid is forced into the cavity, expansion of the cavity moves the first mating surface toward the second mating surface. This is continued until the mating surfaces make contact and a desired amount of pressure is applied between them to create a seal. The pressure of the fluid is distributed evenly through the cavity, so the contact pressure between the mating surfaces of the flanges is also evenly distributed.

用于致动一对管道凸缘以使凸缘密封接合的系统和方法。 在一个实施例中,连接包括第一凸缘,第二凸缘和联接器。 第一和第二凸缘具有互补的配合表面。 联接器接合第一和第二凸缘,其中凸缘定向成使得它们的配合表面彼此面对。 联接器可移动地接合第一凸缘以在联接器和凸缘之间形成空腔。 当流体被迫进入空腔时,空腔的膨胀将第一配合表面朝向第二配合表面移动。 这一直持续到配合表面接触并且在它们之间施加期望的压力以产生密封。 流体的压力均匀地分布在空腔中,因此凸缘的配合表面之间的接触压力也均匀分布。
